I honestly don't like nicknames, but if has to have one Bortles Kombat should not be it. BB5 is okay. I guess I'm just old school in that we call a person by their name. I do kind of like they are calling him The Kid. I have no idea why though.

They call Tom Brady Tom Terrific.

And I thought Manning had the nickname "Jugghead"?

ugh! I sifted through 3 pages, you on the very last page! You beat me to it, +1 good sir.

I always liked "Forehead". Simple, effective, and get's the job done.
As for BB5's nickname, I gotta admit this: If I was in the stadium and had a few Guinness Bombers in me right before Blake came on the field, and the PA system started playing the techno intro to Mortal Kombat, I would be hype sto scream out "BORTLES KOOOMBAATT!!!" at the top of my lungs!! That would be pretty awesome, in all honesty.
But to me, it's easier on a MB to just call him Blake, or Bortles, or BB5. But like I said, screaming out Bortles Kombat at the stadium the first time he trots on the field every Sunday could become a tradition I could totally get behind! Let's just hope we have the real deal, and this guy becomes the face of the Jaguars for the next decade or 2.
On a side note, talk of nicknames always makes me think of this:

Right?? LOL!
If you have a chance youtube the entire scene. I didn't want to post the entire scene, cuz it's filled with profanity. But, word for word, one of the most hilarious sports referenced movie moments of all time!

Just to clarify, should we be calling Bortles 'Jughead' or 'Choker'? And
why?
Bortles Kombat is about the dumbest nickname I've ever heard. It's long and lame. How about we just don't use a nickname because just about ALL of the good QB's don't have nicknames. The only good QB I can think of that is referred to as a nickname is Stabler.
Quote:Much bigger problems to worry about with this team than people giving a few players a nickname..
God forbid someone tries to find some positivity with this team when the cupboard is damn near bare..
Nobody is stopping them. I just never understood the fascination.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Bortles
How about pick 6 Bortles?
Bortles Kombat is horrible.
Quote:CSIII has deemed BB5 as "Bortles Kombat". As we know CSIII trained w/Bortles Kombat even before Anyone thought of us drafting him... So they Say...
We've been been waiting for a fellow team mate to tag Bortles w/an nickname...
Should "Bortles Kombat" stick or should it be ditched?
NH3...
It would be good if his last name was Bortle instead of Bortles. Then, and only then, would Bortle Kombat would sound fine. Having the 's' at the end ruins the word play.

His last name anagrams to LOBSTER.
